Dr. Leda Stawnychko is an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Organizational Theory at Mount Royal University’s Bissett School of Business. Her research interests include leadership effectiveness and development, organizational performance, and transformative learning.

Leda was born and raised in Monterrey, a cosmopolitan Mexican city in the northern region renowned as “the city of mountains,” owing to its nesting within the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range.

Drawing upon these extensive experiences, Leda creates vibrant and engaging learning environments in her university courses and professional workshops.
